ROADTRIP TO HUMBOLDT

So I needed to go out to Humboldt to take care of school stuff and found driving would be cheaper than flying into Arcata. It took me 11 hours to reach the bay area, where I stayed my first night. And on my drive back it took me 13.5 hours to go from McKinleyville to Salt Lake City. It was a long trip but the weather was PERFECT and I got a lot done and got to see people I miss dearly.
Im ready
Salt Flats

Heres Patricks Point, a state park 10 minutes north of Trinidad. I would've had to pay 6 dollars to park inside so I parked on the road and walked in and did a little exploring. I wanted to get to the beach but couldn't figure it out, however I came across and awesome Redwood Grove
